Nevada Law & Sexual Assault
Nevada law defines sexual assault broadly to include various non-consensual sexual acts, ranging from penetration to unwanted touching. The critical element is consent, which must be given freely and affirmatively.
It’s important to understand that consent cannot be given by someone who is:
- Incapacitated by drugs or alcohol
- Mentally impaired
- Under duress or coercion
Sexual assault can occur between any individuals, regardless of their relationship. It is a crime with serious legal ramifications and profound emotional and psychological impact.
